Abstract:

Eleucine coracana G. plants were inoculated with
one of the four Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi viz. Gigasporaalbida, Glomus albidum, Glomus
sinuosum and Scutellospora erythropa in combination with chemical phosphatic
fertilizer (DAP and KH2PO4) and / or nitrogen fixing
blue-green algae (BGA) biofertilizers. Full and one-half dose
of phosphatic fertilizers were
given through potassium phosphate. The root, shoot and leaves of plants were
assayed
for amino acids, proteins,
neutral lipids and phenol contents after 35 and 65 days of transplanting.
Plants inoculated
with different mycorrhizal
fungi in combination of different fertilizers had 10 to 15% more biochemical
constituents
than the non-mycorrhizal
plants. Single inoculation of plants with any one AM fungus had also more
contents over
the plants treated with either
full dose of phosphorus or DAP full dose or BGA mixture or BGA + 1/2 DAP dose
65
DAT. G. albidum and G. albida induced better enhancements as
compared to G. sinuosum and S. erythropa. Among
all the treatments, quantity
of these constituents in different plant parts was improved 65 DAT as compared
to that of
35 DAT.
